Maynard Housing Authority

Maynard Housing Authority, a municipal housing authority based in Maynard, Massachusetts, operates exclusively as a recipient of federal formula grants from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office under two statutory programs: the Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) and the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850). The authority does not function as a federal contractor and holds no prime contract vehicles or subcontract relationships; its federal footprint is entirely grant-funded and constitutes direct federal assistance to support public housing operations and capital improvements.

Maynard Housing Authority has received ten formula grant awards since 2022, with combined dollars obligated at $4.6 million across both the capital and operating programs. Recent awards include a $111,574 Capital Fund grant effective April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2030, and a $105,517 Operating Fund grant effective January 1, 2026, through December 31, 2032. Both grants support the authority's mandate to maintain and operate public housing serving low-income residents in Maynard. Capital Fund allocations enable public housing modernization, infrastructure improvements, unit rehabilitation, and development activities as outlined in the authority's HUD-approved five-year action plan or for HUD-approved emergency work. Operating Fund grants cover day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses, including property management, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and administrative program implementation. The formula-based allocation methodology indexes to characteristics of the authority's public housing inventory, including unit counts, building age, and construction costs.

Activity has remained flat — two awards per year from 2022 through 2026 — reflecting the statutory formula-grant structure under which HUD allocates to approximately 2,770 public housing agencies nationally. Four awards carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months and will require HUD recertification and reallocation. The authority maintains no subrecipient relationships and no sub-awarded funding. Maynard Housing Authority's customer concentration is singular: the Department of Housing and Urban Development accounts for 100% of its federal awards.
